Nearly everybody likes being behind the wheel of a new car, which was the best comparison new Northwestern State football coach Jay Thomas could offer Monday as he assessed the Demons' first day of practice since 2001 on a grass field.

"I thought it was very exciting, like driving a new car today when we got on the practice field. It was great being on the grass, and it was an amazing experience because it took a lot of collaboration from a good number of folks to get it done this well," said Thomas. "The kids really enjoyed themselves out there. It certainly helped early in practice as hot as it is."
